This was the 2nd Commemoration Seminar to recognize the Hawza Personalities. Two personalities were chosen, one is late Allamah Syed Saeed Akhtar Rizvi of Tanzania and the other is Allamah Sheikh Abdul Hadi Fazli from Saudi Arabia.

Allamah Syed Saeed Akhtar Rizvi, of Tanzania, was the founder of Bilal Muslim Mission who also served as a Chief Missionary up till his sad demise. He initiated the propagation of the Shiite faith to the indigenous African Community, and wrote several books and articles, both in Kiswahili and English language. His books have been translated in many languages and still being widely read.

The work of Allamah Seyed Saeed Akhtar Rizvi has reached the lives of thousands of people and will continue to do so in the years to come. He is truly an inspiration to us all and appreciation goes to Al Mustafa University for commemorating the work he has done.

The goal and aim of the Seminar was not only to record and recognise the Hawza personalities but also to inspire work of Tableegh to the world and present them with an opportunity to learn and follow in the footsteps of the kind of work done by the two personalities.
